World history: The change in Imperialism

Social, economic, and political change altered the nature of imperialism in three principal ways. One was the amplified need for natural resources, two was the new understanding of economics, and three was the expanding sense of what it meant to be civilized. All of these events and ideas were lead up to by the industrial revolution. The industrial revolution altered the course of history in numerous ways but the most significant is certainly that of imperialism.

The industrialization created a rise in population and thus a rise in demand. This in it of itself did not lead to the need for conquest but it was certainly a contributing factor. The Industrial revolution began to produce goods that were cheaper and faster to make. Countries associated with the Industrial Revolution needed material to produce goods, and especially with the new increase in demand they needed a new source. “The enormous productivity of industrialization technology and Europe’s growing affluence now created a need for extensive natural resources and agriculture.”(880) Hence they took over various parts of Africa. Africa however was not the only place the Europeans went for new resources, they also conquered places in the Middle East, Asia, and eventually the American colonies. Another way the amplified need for resources contributed to the change in imperialism is that it influenced the idea capitalism and capitalism basically thrives on the takeover

It is the most important cause of WW1, because it created a build-up of tension in Europe and outside of Europe, and through imperialism, the three other causes were able to affect the beginnings of the war. Imperialism is defined as the governing of one people by another country, which was a recurring dilemma prior to WW1 due…

Writing the History of the World
To write a history of the world, one must begin at a point when the
world is shifting from the remnants of old empires into the modern or
at least the pre modern world as we know it. During the 15th century,
we begin to see a change; Europe climbs out of the Middle Ages, tosses
off its religious shackles and starts evolving. The Europeans set sail
and we start to see well-documented evidence of other cultures and
religions. The Americans…

European nations saw themselves fit to divide the uncivilized world, almost in a pie like manner, to be placed under their reign. With this came many mistreatments of indigenous…
